Go Warriors!

Tyler's soccer season started in August. He is on the same team he was on in the Spring, with 5 other boys- the Warriors. His coach is great! She teaches the boys every time that the most important thing is to have fun and use teamwork! Each week they have one day of 30 min. practice and 30 minute gametime and another day of 1hr of gametime. The way this soccer club does practice for the younger age groups is a bit odd, but works. There are 4 goals on the field and each team has two goals assigned to them. As soon as a ball is out of play a new one is thrown in. This way they are constantly playing and it seems to give each kid a chance to score some goals. I have to admit, the first practice I was not emotionally ready to see my little baby falling on the ground so much and getting pushed, shoved, and kicked so much. The first fall he took I expected him to stand up crying, but he just got up and kept going.
